What is Bioheat® Fuel?

Bioheat® Fuel is an industry-accepted term for traditional heating oil blended with 2%, 5%, or 20% pure ASTM certified biodiesel. Bioheat® Fuel produces the same satisfying heat as standard heating oil but is a more renewable and cleaner-burning source of energy.

The biodiesel used to make our local Bioheat® Fuel is sourced and produced in New England from second use or waste vegetable oil collected from over 1700 restaurant partners.

Why is Bioheat® Fuel better?

• Improves air quality: The use of standard heating oil produces toxic air emissions like carbon monoxide, particulates, and smog-forming compounds. Bioheat® Fuel reduces all of these emissions, improving the air quality around your home.
• Domestically produced: Bioheat® Fuel is made right here at home, helping to support local jobs and reducing our dependence on foreign oil.
• Renewable: Bioheat® Fuel draws on a renewable supply of oil from waste grease, animal fats and vegetable oils.
• No Investment: With Bioheat® Fuel, you don’t need to modify, upgrade or replace your equipment. Bioheat® Fuel can blend directly with any existing oil in your tank. Bioheat® Fuel lubricates your heating system and actually extends equipment life and reduces periodic maintenance intervals.
• Efficient & Clean Burning: Bioheat® Fuel has the highest Btu content of any alternative fuel and it burns cleaner than traditional heating oil because it contains less sulfur. This results in a reduction in particulates and greenhouse gases that cause global warming.
• Safe: Bioheat® Fuel is less toxic, more biodegradable and has an even higher flash point than traditional heating oil.
